Seriously. The Reds cant win a game but.....
- Thread starter Duck_walk
- Start date
Dang I thought they just played the Phillies and won a couple of extra inning games. Was I just dreaming or are you that far behind?

The Reds? They are 1-9 in their last ten.
This team just can't seem to get right all around for any sort of stretch. If the starters are great, the bullpen implodes. If the bullpen is great, the starters are struggling mightily. If all of the pitching is holding up ok, the offense is anemic. Even if everything seems to go right with the pitching and offense, the fundamentals are still AWFUL and have lost us probably 10 games already. It's just a really, really frustrating team to watch at this point.
I was talking about the Cardinals. If the Reds are 1-9 in their last 10 they couldn't have just won 2 extra inning games against the Phillies. You are behind.

You cant read.
I can and I was talking about the Cardinals winning 2 extra inning games. NOT the Reds. You choose to look at the dark side of EVERYTHING, I choose to see that NO team is running away in our division. What excuse do the Cubs have for NOT doing so? You should get on their board and tell them to sign a few stars and sluggers, oh wait they already have those. Maybe the Brewers will just keep winning and maybe you can tell us why. This HR crap is getting ridiculous, the ball is juiced again and probably some the guys hitting are too. This ain't even decent baseball anymore, hit 30 HR's and strikeout a couple hundred times and get the big bucks.
Dark side of everything? Are you off your meds? Get back on them and watch this team run the bases, play defense, and pitch.
Its a poor product being sold. You know that.
Forget the wild card, win the division or go home. The Brewers are in 1st place in the central at 4 games over and I don't know anyone that thinks they will win it. Tell me what excuse the Cubs have for not running away with this thang. They're WS hero is hitting 167 and playing in AAA now. They started the season with the team they had, why are they not walking away with this division? A lot of season left.
Mike Trout sucks
Chris Carter is getting paid big bucks
Seriously.... have you ever stopped for 3 seconds to think before posting?
Did you not just cry that people just hit 30 homeruns and strikeout every other AB..... then get paid big time?
Did Chris Carter not just get released from the Yankees? A guy who hits homeruns and strikes out?
With this logic, Mike Trout sucks.....because he hits a lot of homeruns and strikes out. I mean, he's only the best player you'll see in your lifetime. But he hits 30(+)homeruns and has 140-180 Ks
3R is older than me so I know he's seen at least one better player than Mike Trout. Most of us here got to see a guy named Albert Pujols in his prime. I just did a quick stat comparison and it's not really even close. Albert struck out 93 times his rookie year. Then was only in the 70s once the rest of his time in StL. Trout, on the other hand, has never been under 136 after his partial rookie year. And he's yet to hit as many HRs in a year as Albert did 5 times. OPS you ask, Albert was over 1.000 in 8 of his 11 years here. Trout is yet to be over 1.000 in his 6 years. Trout is a good player but he's no Albert Pujols.
That's fantastic. Trout also plays defense and runs. Pujols has a career WAR of 90 at age 37. Trout is at 51 at age 25. He's right on pace with the guy STL started a massive jersey burn over.
I know....i know.....WAR sucks. WAR is fake. Blah blah blah. WAR is also a great way to easily compare. Unless you want their slash lines
.308/.408/.567
.307/.389/.567
But then again, this also has nothing to do really with the point of what 3R is trying to say.
Why does Chris Carter not have a job currently? He hits bombs and strikes out. According to 3R, he should be making big money
Imagine if he faced low 90s as a top end speed, like most people did back in your golden era
It's no longer 1885. Baseball has changed.
What if he faced Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax and many others that pitched back in '1885' as you call it. They didn't have to throw 100mph, they knew how to pitch. BTW how hard did Gibson throw? I didn't see any radar guns in the stadiums back in the 'olden days.' They lowered the freakin mound because he a few others dominated the game!
Saw one of your 'best players in the game' Bryce Harper get hit on the toe by a throw because he was LOAFING down the line on a ground ball to 2nd. It would have been a DP with a good throw because he didn't run hard. He ran like he thought it was a routine DP ball, or maybe just because he was pissed he hit a weak grounder to 2nd, when he would have easily been safe if he had just ran like he can. Wonder how he would have felt if the ball that hit him would have broken his toe?
Tell me you don't think he is. I think he is, or least could be, if he decides to play hard all the time. There was NO reason be doggin it down the line on that play, he was lucky the ball that hit his toe didn't result in a stint on DL when he should have already been across the bag.
He's not on Trouts level.....the only player I've mentioned. So thanks for letting me know I've never mentioned anything on Harper
Right now he's 3rd on the list of HR's before the age of 24, he can hit, run catch and throw. Maybe if he loses the hothead issues he'll be pretty dang good.
